The Airbus A400M will not fly on June 26...

The first flight of the new European "all-terrain" military aircraft produced by Airbus - intended to take over from the Transall and other Hercules C130s - was well planned for 26 June. But it will end up being a short outing outside the workshops (Roll out in aeronautical terminology) and not a bigger outing... The first flight will take place during the summer. To be continued ! The first operational delivery is scheduled for 2010. About 200 orders have already been placed for the European device, mainly by the countries associated with OCCAR - theJoint Organization for Cooperation in Armamentsnt: Germany (60), France (50), Spain (27), United Kingdom (25), Turkey (10), Belgium (7), Luxembourg (1).
